Intraday Trailing Drawdown — PRO Accounts

The separate rules for simulated funded PRO Accounts activated after passing an Intraday Trailing evaluation.

How the Intraday PRO account works

  • PRO trading hours are 6:00 PM to 4:59 PM Eastern. Holiday hours may vary.
  • Your PRO Account has the same starting balance and maximum drawdown amount as the Intraday evaluation you passed.
  • The trailing threshold follows peak live equity, including unrealized P&L, and never moves down.
  • The fail line locks at starting balance + $100 once peak live equity reaches starting balance + maximum drawdown + $100 (on a $50K: peak $52,100, lock $50,100).
  • Until that lock, the live trailing line is the fail line. After the lock, you fail only at or below the locked line.
  • Touching or falling below the active threshold triggers market liquidation and permanently closes the PRO Account.
  • A separate intraday Daily Loss Limit (DLL) applies and scales with your profit tier.
  • Standard, mini, and micro contracts are allowed. You may switch sizes. 10 micros = 1 mini toward the current max (1 NQ = 10 MNQ). Stay within the current position limit and scaling level.
  • To keep the PRO Account active, trade at least one day each calendar week (Sunday–Friday).

Contract and DLL scaling

Profit means end-of-day balance above starting balance. The tier is set from the prior close at approximately 4:59:59 PM ET and applies to the next session. It can move up or down (never below Level 1). It does not change intraday. Reaching the evaluation profit-target balance does not freeze the tier.

If the DLL is reached, positions are flattened and trading pauses for the rest of the trading day; the account remains active for the next session. Orders exceeding the current contract limit are rejected. 10 micros = 1 mini toward the max.
